But do not include all the nutrients your body needs for a long and healthy life.
There sure are worse options than beans though.
They don't? Are you sure?
I feel like beans are one of the few foods that do include all the nutrients you need.
It's like them and quinoa.
They don't contain one of the 20 essential amino acids. Namely methionine. Nuts, seeds, legumes, and grains contain it though, so you can pair beans with your favorite one of those to have a complete protein.
Tofu is just lacking in methionine, not completely devoid of it, but you should have another source.
